The Regent's Little Wolf Concubine

Chapter 139 The Red Fruit

A carriage engraved with the logo of Prince Xiao's Mansion slowly drove outside the palace, stopped at the gate of the palace, and was checked by the guards guarding the gate.

"Who is sitting in the carriage? Is there a token for entering the palace?" After stopping the carriage, one of the guards came forward and asked.

Han Yu who was following was about to step forward to speak, but at this moment Chu Nanxiao raised the curtain from inside and took a look outside.

"It's the king."

Seeing that the person in the carriage was Chu Nanxiao, the guard immediately lowered his head and retreated, and hurriedly let the people behind him pass by, feeling very strange at the same time.

Normally, the prince would come to the palace alone on horseback, why did he come in a carriage today?

And when the curtain was opened just now, he seemed to see another person sitting inside, but because the prince's body blocked him, he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly.

After the carriage passed by, the guards guarding the gate began to discuss.

"Before I heard that the regent was ill and took leave to recuperate in the mansion for a long time. I didn't quite believe it when I heard it, but now it seems that it should be true."

"That's right, you see that the princes have all entered the palace in a carriage instead, if it wasn't for the weak body after illness, there is no need to do this, right?"

"Ahem!" Hearing the guesses of his subordinates, the chief guard coughed heavily at this moment, and then reprimanded him with a serious face: "Do you think you are too idle? Stand up for your posts!"

When the chief guard said this, the others immediately fell silent, and each of them returned to their positions.

"Chu Nanxiao, I saw those guards were surprised when they saw you just now, don't you usually enter the palace from here?" Not long after the carriage entered the palace gate, Wen Qian asked Chu curiously Nan Xiao.

While talking, she couldn't help thinking about what happened at noon yesterday. He said that he went back through the back door yesterday. Maybe there is a back door in this palace, and he usually has the habit of going through the back door, so the guards would be so surprised when they saw him go through the front door ?
If Chu Nanxiao knew these thoughts in her heart, she would definitely feel very speechless.

However, he doesn't know how to read minds, so he doesn't know what she is thinking at the moment, but after hearing her question, he paused and replied: "They were not surprised when they saw me, but they were surprised when they saw my carriage. "

"Surprised to see the carriage?" Wen Qian became even more curious when she heard this, so she looked at him and continued to ask, "Why? Is there anything special about this carriage?"

"The carriage is not special, because the person riding the carriage is special." He held her hand as he spoke.

At this point, she finally understood what he said, and then she heard him say again: "I will go to the imperial study to see the emperor first, and you and Xiaojing will wait for me in the pavilion in the imperial garden, and I will let Han Yu Be by your side and protect you."

"I see, go and do your business!" Wen Qian replied with a smile, and after a while, the carriage stopped, and then Chu Nanxiao went out first, and then hugged her from the carriage down.

This is the first time Chu Nanxiao brought a stranger into the palace, so when he walked all the way to the imperial garden, many palace people first saluted him, and then all looked at Wen Qian .

The palace people felt curious in their hearts, who is this little girl?He even asked the regent to bring him into the palace himself.
Wen Qian just pretended not to see the sneaky gazes of these people, and after Chu Nanxiao took her to the Royal Garden, she said to him narcissistically: "When I came here just now, those court ladies and eunuchs kept staring at you. Let me see, do you think they are too cute for me?"

Chu Nanxiao was noncommittal to her words, turned her head and looked in the direction of the imperial study room, and then reminded her: "I'm going to the imperial study room first, you wait for me at the flower viewing pavilion in front. Don't run around, you understand?"

Hearing his reminder again, Wen Qian nodded at him reassuringly, and seeing that he seemed to be about to say something, she interrupted impatiently: "Oh, I see, I promise I will never run around! You Hurry up and do your work, I'm still waiting for you to come back and take me to visit the palace!"

At this point, Chu Nanxiao didn't say anything more, only ordered Xiaojing to greet her, and asked Han Yu to stay and protect her, then turned and went to the imperial study, leaving the three of them in the imperial garden.

"Miss, let's sit in the pavilion for a while."

After Chu Nanxiao left, Xiaojing made a suggestion beside her, and she nodded lightly, then walked to the flower viewing pavilion, and finally went to the pavilion and sat down.

There were quite a few palace people coming and going in the imperial garden, and those who came out of each palace passed the pavilion as if they couldn't see the people inside, and just passed by.

Wen Qian sat in the pavilion for a long time, looking at the flowers and plants outside for people to watch, she just felt a little bored for a while, but because Chu Nanxiao hadn't come back yet, she didn't dare to run around, so she could only be patient. I settled down and waited.

Just when she was feeling bored, a court lady suddenly came to the pavilion with something, went to the stone table, greeted her first, and then put two plates of delicate snacks and a plate of fruit cut into small pieces on the table superior.

"The regent ordered the servant to send it. Please use it slowly, miss. The servant will leave first." After the maid explained to her, she retreated obediently.

After the court lady left, Wen Qian turned her head to look at the food on the table, there were various kinds of small pastries, and cut fruits that were poked with bamboo sticks.
Seeing this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Is it because he knows that he will feel bored here, so he specially asked the maid to bring some food over, so that he can pass the time while eating?
Thinking of this, she picked up a bamboo stick that was poking the apple, put it in her mouth and tasted it.

The fruit was cut into the same shape, just enough for her to take a bite. From this, it can be seen that he is really careful, so careful that he has thought of every detail.

"Han Yu, you used to follow Chu Nanxiao a lot, so you should be able to come to this palace from time to time, right?" After eating the apples, she put the bamboo sticks on the table, and then she suddenly asked Han Yu again.

Hearing the lady's question, Han Yu hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Returning to the lady, the subordinates do have the opportunity to follow the prince into the palace from time to time, but they always come to do business with the prince."

Hearing this, she nodded and asked again: "Then you should be familiar with the environment in the palace?"

Although she didn't know why she asked this question, Han Yu replied honestly: "I dare not say that I am very familiar with it, but I still know most of the places in the palace."

After all, when the prince went out on business, he was ordered to protect the safety of the emperor in the palace, so he was familiar with the things in the palace, not to mention, he basically knew all the palaces and courtyards.

"Then do you know which palace the concubine lives in?" Wen Qian asked suddenly, but Han Yu was a little confused when he heard it, so he asked, "I wonder which concubine the lady is talking about?"

"That's right." She didn't even know how many concubines there were in the palace, and now that he asked her this question, she felt a little confused about who she was looking for.

"I don't know which concubine she is, I just remember that in her palace, there is always a faint fragrance of jasmine, and people are like jasmine, fresh and elegant, but I can't think of anything else. "At the end she waved her hand.

Hearing what she said, Han Yu had an answer in his heart, but he didn't say it directly, because he didn't know what the lady wanted to do with this concubine. Before the prince came back, he should not talk too much. it is good.

If Wen Qian knew that Han Yu had already thought of who she was talking about, but didn't tell her, she would definitely settle accounts with him, but she didn't know, so she didn't say anything more.

"Forget it, since you forgot, just ignore her, and you will know when you meet her next time."

The last time Chu Nanxiao took her into the palace, and when she was hunted down by Wang Gonggong and the others, she once hid in that concubine's palace for a while. At that time, she felt that the woman was quite friendly. !
Because of this courage, she also wants to make friends with her, even if she no longer knows her current self.
It's a pity that it was too late at that time, and now that time has passed so long, she can't remember the way to that concubine's palace, otherwise she could just go there.

While she was recalling these things, Han Yu on the side suddenly asked curiously: "Miss, isn't it the first time you entered the palace today? How did you know the concubine?"

Han Yu still doesn't know that Wen Qian is the white wolf, so the previous incident can't be related to her, which is why he has such doubts.

When "I" was asked by him, Wen Qian didn't know how to explain the question, and finally replied, "Why are you asking so many questions?"

At this point, Han Yu was choked immediately, and then did not continue to ask, but he was still a little curious.

Seeing that he didn't say anything more, Wen Qian turned to look outside the pavilion again, but when she glanced at a rockery, she suddenly saw something that caught her eyes.

On the rockery not far away, there is a plant bearing red fruits. Because the color is very conspicuous, it is very conspicuous on the rockery.

Seeing this, her eyes immediately fixed on the red color, and then she stood up and walked over there.

"Miss, where are you going?" Xiaojing and Han Yu hurriedly followed behind her.

Finally, when she came to the bottom of the rockery, she looked up at the fruit on it, pointed to it and said to Han Yu, "Han Yu, go up and pick that red fruit for me."

The first time she saw this fruit, she thought it was very familiar, a bit like the ginseng fruit she ate outside Putian County!But because the distance was too far, she was still not sure if the one on it was ginseng fruit.
